Thank you for this group. I have had neuropathy for several years . Last December I had a stroke. Since then my neuropathy has gotten worse along with balance. Some shoes that I wear mess with my balance more than others. IS there a good solution to getting some shoes that help me walk like I am sober?

Hello @delta1, I would like to add my welcome along with @gnocchi and others. There are a lot of us with neuropathy and balance problems, me included. I switch between barefoot type shoes with flat soles and not much padding and OrthoFeet shoes. The barefoot shoes provide a little more stability for me but are hard for walking any distance due to the jarring effect on the feet and the more cushy shoes feel better walking but also play havoc with my balance if I'm not careful. There are quite a few discussions on shoes for neuropathy if you want to scan through them to read what others have shared - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/search/discussions/.

There are also quite a few discussions on neuropathy and balance that might be helpful - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/search/.

Do you have pain with your neuropathy?
